All Music.com - “No Nations, is a pleasant, gently trippy throwback to the '90s shoegaze scene filled with waves of guitars, dreamily hazy vocals, and sweetly sung melodies."

Buzzbands.la - “No Nations," a richly textured and downright gorgeous slice of Anglophile-leaning dream-pop."

CitizenDick.org - “No Nations has a solid balance of fist pumping and navel gazing... an album that is worth your attention."

FazerMagazine.com - “...expect to be impressed with No Nations - an album that is getting better and better the more I play it."

The Lefsetz Letter - “No Nations" is a throwback to that era. Drop the proverbial needle and the everyday world will fall away. You'll be immersed in a bath of warm oil. “
